Swimming career


Willey represented Great Britain twice at the Summer Olympics: in 1996 (Atlanta, Georgia) and 2000 (Sydney, Australia).[1]

He represented England principally in the backstroke events but also won a silver medal in the 4 x 100 metres medley relay event, at the 1998 Commonwealth Games in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.[2][3][4]

Willey won several medals (silver and bronze) in the 1990s as a member of the British short course (25 m) relay teams. At the ASA National British Championships he won the 50 metres backstroke title three times (1995, 1997, 2001) and the 100 metres backstroke title twice (1995, 1997).[5][6]
